Foundations of a resilient farming system with Hamish Bielski

South Otago farmer Hamish Bielski sheds light on how and why his marriage sits at the heart of their resilient sheep and beef system.Managing expectations has been key in Hamish’s journey so far. He is unattached to doing the same thing year-on-year, authentically sharing what hasn’t worked, and highlighting the innovation and opportunity that arises from failing.Hamish is adapting all the time, from sheep breeds, to grazing management, to creating openings for positive action within the rules of our national and global systems. Hamish is clear that there’s always more to achieve, so don’t forget to celebrate your wins!“Failure is critical. I think failure is probably the most critical for yourself. Keeping you humble. Keeping your ego in check. But I mean, when we’re on good a roll, and things are going well, and what we do turns to gold, wow, it’s just so easy to get arrogant and self-focused and think you’re just the bees knees.“But then you also limit yourselves in your innovation. So while you’re humming along well, somebody else that’s failing and changing, they end up leap-frogging you because you preferred to stay comfortable. While I love being comfortable, I also hate missing opportunities.”🪴 Quorum Sense website (www.quorumsense.org.nz)🤙 Quorum Sense Farming Network Facebook Group👣 The Quorum Sense Podcast🦋 Quorum Sense Facebook page🌸 Quorum Sense Instagram✨  Quorum Sense...
